COACH ROTHGEB Seating Arrangement in Memo rial Gymnasium for all Bas ketball games. All students will occupy the south side of the building and overflow into the west end where temporary bleachers have been provided. Section A will be occupied by the Coupon Book holders of the Faculty and Bryan. Section B will be occupied by those holding permanent reserv ed seat tickets for all basket ball games. Section C will be reserved for the general public who secure admission tickets for single games. A sufficient number of seats in Section E, in the center of the south side of the court, will be held for the seniors, letter men and band. We have erected five hundred seats at the west end of the court to take care of the overflow in the student sections. All students will use the sec ond door on the east for en trance and the doors on their side of the court for exit. It is necessary that we have some systematic seating arrange ments as well as entrance and exit arrangements in order to handle the crowd and this plan has been adopted by the Ath letic Council with the Rice game Friday night, and we will appreciate the full cooperation of all in carrying out this sys tem. ATHLETIC COUNCIL, A. and M. College. ISSUES CALL FOR BASEBALL MEN Pitchers and Catchers Practice. Report for Baseball training for the coming season began at A. and M. Monday afternoon when the pitchers, catch ers and first basemen reported for practice. Uniforms were issued and work began that same afternoon un der the efficient tutelage of Coach Rothgeb who will have charge of base ball this season. At a recent meeting of the candi dates for positions on the Farmer nine, about fifty men were present. Included among these were nine let ter men of last year; three outfield ers, three infielders, two pitchers, and one catcher. Practically all of last year’s Freshman team were present. With these men and the others avail able, some of whom have had quite a bit of experience, the prospects for a winning baseball team are very bright. A1—Why so gloomy, old top? Pal—My roommate’s going riding in my Ford. A1—Why that shouldn’t make you blue. Pal—No, but he’s wearing my suit and coat. A1—But, man, you have the one you are wearing. Pal—Yea, but my money is in the other suit. -^-1—Well, if that’s what’s worrying you, why, here’s a five. Pal—You rummy, he’s got my girl out with him.—Ex. THE AGGIE OFFENSIVE.

Damon 7 Washburn ..5 Tucker 5 Kyle 5 Duckett 2 Dealy 4 Baker 0 Kreuger ,...., 0 The Aggie Cagers returned to Col lege Station Tuesday morning with one victory and one defeat to their credit in the race for conference championship, having defeated Baylor and having been defeated by T. C. U. on the first road trip of the year. Dealy of the Aggies broke a tied score and incidently won the game from Baylor last Saturday night in their own gym. The Baylor team held the lead far into the second half when “Dime” looped one from quite a dif ficult angle and made the score 15 to 13 in favor of the Aggies. Tucker, who was injected into the game during the first half to replace Duckett, was high point man for the night with five points to his credit. Captain Washburn was second in the scoring of points, with two fiield goals. Both teams failed many times to count on apparently easy crip shots after working the ball down the court through stiff defensives. Fight such as is seen in all contests between Bay lor and the Aggies was not lacking in this contest. Coach Bridges started his second string team against the Farmers in an effort to tire them out but the Ag gies were not to be tired. Chamb- less was the only outstanding player for the Waco team.

U., who scouted the game with Baylor, certainly did some fast work for when the Aggies met the Horned Frogs on Monday night they were defeated by a score of 22 to 13. The game was played in the small gymnasium of the First Baptist Church of Fort Worth in stead of at the college court. Their team composed of large men, save one, and a narrow court upon which a compact defense could be formed were probably the facts to which the Aggie defeat might be at tributed.
